A Florissant teen was sentenced for setting fire to several vehicles near his home last spring, according to a report from KSDK.

Khadeem Ratcliff pled guilty to four counts of “knowingly burning” in October. The 18-year-old was sentenced to five years of supervised probation, and Judge David Lee Vincent also informed him that he would be responsible for restitution to the owners of the vehicles.

Ratcliff was also ordered to attend regular mental evaluations, maintain full-time employment and to completely avoid contact with the victims. If he violates the probation order, he will be sent to prison.
